Aaronallen → Huntsman
- Reason: I no longer wish to use my real name as my username due to privacy and security issues. Aαron 11:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- Template:Respond This username was recently created on de: and has a few edits. Is it you? If so, please log in to de: and leave a note on your talk page saying it is you. Then come back here and leave a diff so we can see. Thanks. Alternately, you'll need to choose a different name. --Dweller (talk) 11:25, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

- Template:Respond Well, there's a Stryker on pl: who made 1 edit in 2006. Would you be happy if you didn't have a completely unified login - you can always approach the pl: Crats and ask to usurp that username. --Dweller (talk) 11:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- No, unfortunately that isn't me. Can I request the username 'Stryker'? Aαron 21:06, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- File:Yes check.svg Done I've performed an usurp to the username Stryker. There are a gaggle of other wikis with the same username, but they should be usurpable. bibliomaniac15 04:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Mvcorks → Mvc
- Reason: I would prefer a username less immediately identifiable as my real name. I have just created a unified login (merging this account with accounts on commons, ES, and FR) and will request new usernames on those other wikis if this is accepted. mvc (talk) 22:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

- No, my username on commons, fr.wiki, and es.wiki is Mvcorks. Given that the account Mvc on es.wiki seems dormant, is it possible to at least rename my en.wiki account? mvc (talk) 13:11, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- I think that it would be better for you to try to usurp the es.wiki account first before renaming here to avoid any conflict. bibliomaniac15 23:08, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll try that. Thanks for your advice. I've made a request (which includes a link to this discussion for reference). mvc (talk) 16:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that was fast! The es.wiki bureaucrats have just usurped the account es:User:Mvc for me. Is it possible to rename my account on en.wiki now, or do I have to issue requests to usurp the accounts on nl.wiki (one edit last year) and ru.wiki (inactive since 2004) as well first? (Although that would be difficult, as I don't happen to speak those languages...) mvc (talk) 16:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

YowuzaZXWolfie → Yowuza
- Reason: YowuzaZXWolfie is rather long and cumbersome, Yowuza is much shorter, it's my Wikia username so it's harder for people to impersonate me. PS: I'm using unified login. Yowuza ZX Wolfie 15:27, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

- Good question! Bland would have been a better word. By neutral I mean the new name is just letters and numbers as opposed to real words which can carry different imagery/associations for different people. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and clearly people have different preferences about their usernames in this respect. But I now realise that to make a continuing contribution to Wikipedia I would be more comfortable with a "bland" username rather than the one I chose, and this is the reason for the request.
